Judith Banos Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,499
  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

Originally from Mexico with a background in architecture, I discovered my true calling behind the camera at age 13. What started as a teenage passion has blossomed into Judith Baños Photography, where I've spent years documenting life's most precious moments. My architectural training gives me a unique perspective on composition and light. As a bilingual photographer, I specialize in weddings, proposals, elopements, and pet photography because I believe in preserving memories that last forever.

Judith is not just an amazing photographer she is a delight to be around. She brought a sense of peace and calm to our wedding day and her images made me and my wife cry they were so beautiful. Her images capture the true feeling of the day in a way we both felt like we were reliving the day. If you're looking for a photographer that's as fun to be with as the images she creates she's your girl!

Santa Ana, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,800

Stephanie’s journey in photography began when her sister became engaged in 2017. This was such an emotional experience for her that what started out as a hobby quickly became a passion that she craved to share with others. For her, photography is more than just a photo or a snapshot. It’s a treasure. A priceless glimpse into the past where all the best moments of your life are preserved. Stephanie strives to deliver the perfect photos, encapsulating all the firsts, all the feels, all the memories!

As soon as I got engaged, I booked Stephanie! Before I even had any of my other vendors, I knew I needed her to document our day! From initial meeting to gallery delivery, she has been the most amazing, patient, kind, responsive, fun, hardworking, and wonderful individuals I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She truly cares about her couples and her work is truly beautiful. Take a moment to scroll through her photos and you'll fall in love like I did! She is great at catching all the moments-- candid or posed and makes you feel comfortable. I am so happy we booked her and will refer her to all my friends and family! Thank you so much for taking care of us Steph!

Starting my photography as a hobby in 2014 and becoming professional in 2017, my journey has taken me across the United States and around the world, where I've had the privilege of serving more than 200 couples on their special day. My approach to photography stands apart from traditional documentary styles. I focus on the natural colors and rich content of each moment, striving to highlight real-time emotions through thoughtful lighting and composition. My goal is to celebrate the unique narrative of every couple by capturing their happiness and love story with a distinct light-and-airy perspective.

Steven helped our friends to take their engagement photos, and my now husband and I were so impressed of his style, so when it was our time to look for the photographer for our big day, Steven was our first choice and the only photographer that we wanted to work with. Steven is friendly and easy to work with, and he is so good at capturing photos with natural lights and interactions between people. My husband and I was in a budget, but Steven was so understandable and willing to custom the package for us so that we could be within our budget :) On our wedding day everything got delayed, so we almost missed our wedding party photo session… But Steven did a great job and worked super fast to take photos for us and the photos were so great. All our friends and family love the photos that he took for us. We highly recommend Steven to everyone!

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

We were so lucky to find Cassy to photograph our wedding! From the beginning, she was professional, quick to respond, and brought the energy. During our initial meeting, Cassy listened to my vision and understood exactly what I was going for. We wanted a themed, nerdy wedding, and funny enough, she was also a fan of the theme we had! She was so helpful through the process, especially with the added stress of postponements with COVID. On the day of our wedding, she provided so much guidance with posing, lighting, background, etc. to make sure all the photos turned out the best they could be. Lastly, her photos are beautiful! We love the bright and light look, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!

Julia Lukash Photography

  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

Hey, I am Julia. My photography style combines curated, editorial touches with authentic, candid moments. To capture the unique essence of your wedding day, I often utilize a blend of both digital and film photography. With over a decade of experience, I have spent my career learning from and collaborating with leading industry professionals.

I can't even imagine how the day could have gone without Julia. My (now) spouse and I decided to elope in Santa Barbara on a short notice and invited a few guests. Needless to say, we didn't know how to pose or act or even where to go to get the photos we had in mind. But Julia came to the rescue. From the start, she was communicative and responsive. On the day, she came prepared, having looked at the photos we had sent her for inspiration, and she knew exactly how and where to get the shots we wanted. She took a variety of funny, serious, and elegant photos, and by the end, we were all just having a laugh, including the guests. Julia really did a fantastic job, and I cannot recommend her enough to everyone. You can't go wrong!

She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

My name is Mallory, and I am a fine art film wedding photographer based out of Southern California & available worldwide. Growing up I always had a creative mind. I felt drawn to the camera but never knew why, or that one day it would become one of my main purposes in life. I began my business in 2012 and can honestly say that I have never looked back. I would describe my style as delicate, romantic, elegant, but most importantly - timeless.

Mallory is an incredible photographer who’s talent shines through in every photo. She is so sweet, caring, and really puts in the effort to make sure everything runs smoothly while making you feel so special. She documented our connection and the love and joy we felt from our guests. Even after our gallery was delivered she checked in to make sure everything was perfect. We are so grateful for her time and everything she contributed to our engagement shoot and wedding day. Thanks to her we now have timeless photos that will be cherished for a lifetime.

  • Serves Santa Ana, CA

Anatoliy is from Kazakhstan, where he studied transportation technology at Karaganda State Technical University, before getting his MFA in filmmaking from New York Film Academy. Susie is from LA, and she studied molecular & cellular biology at Harvard University (along with film and animation), before getting her MS in computer science from UChicago. While we were both in engineering, deep down, we always had a passion for storytelling. And one day, we decided that life was far too short for us not to do what we loved: creating and sharing real stories.

I don't think there are words to truly express how much Anatoliy K, Susie, and team made our wedding photo dreams come true. From a perfect engagement shoot on the beach to our big day in a spring garden - the photos say it all! Each moment and detail was so perfectly captured, and made our hearts burst looking at each picture. We are truly blown away by the high-quality, attention to detail, and gorgeous compositions that came out of such a creative team. Once I saw AnatoliyK Weddings on Zola, they stood out, and they truly delivered. It was SUCH a pleasure and joy working with Anatoliy and Susie from the beginning to end. They made our vision come to life, and we have it for a lifetime to remember! THANK YOU so much to such an amazing wedding photography team. I cannot recommend you hire them enough!!!

I first began taking photos when my son, Andrew, was born in 1998. He is now my second photographer. I started my wedding photography career in 2000, working for a wedding studio part-time. In April 2019, I started as a full-time wedding photographer to pursue my life time goal. I would love to capture your unique love story!

Justin is an absolute blast to work with, I'm so glad we had him as our wedding photographer. Not only did our photos turn out incredible but he was so much fun to have as a part of our wedding. He's extremely interactive and involved, during our reception if he noticed someone on our dance floor trying to take a selfie he'd jump in with a spotlight so that their person photos would turn out great too. I just love how thoughtful that was! He caters to your wants for photos, while he guides and advises for what will look best he also listens to your ideas and makes sure that you get the photos that you want. Justin has an amazing personality, while very professional, he also had us cracking up the whole time and made our photo sessions not only moments that we had our photos taken but memories that make me smile and laugh when I think back on them. Rather than a vendor that we hired, Justin immediately felt like a friend that was celebrating with us. I highly recommend him and cannot thank him enough for all he did to add to our day and capture all the amazing moments for us.

She also took the time to let my baby niece use her camera to take blurry photos of the floor and she was mesmerized at 3 hours past her bedtime. I will be using her for all my future photo needs!

We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations.

Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully.

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.
